So, I constantly write about the importance of ‘Time for YOU’ but when you have a busy life, kids, and little support to do just that, it can seem overwhelming of just where to start.

I’ve been thinking of re-joining a gym for the past year but child care is an issue for me and my husband, not wanting to leave our daughter with just anyone.Today I took the plunge.It seems like a lot of money but when you break it down it really isn't.

I decided on the local YMCA which is only $17 per month for unlimited child care.Right there, it’s a good deal!!Then, take into consideration that she’ll be enrolled into a weekly program that’s included in her membership...well, it makes me wonder why I hadn’t looked into this sooner.Then, there’s the classes I’ll be taking.Normally, one class is about $120 for two months but I’ll be taking two classes plus using their treadmills, ellipticals, and whatever else I can fit in.Another big bonus is that my husband and I can have some child-free time.If you’ve been reading my blog for a while you know that it’s a rare occurrence for us.

It all starts tomorrow.I’ll keep you posted as to how it is going but I’m really nervous.Willow has only been left with one of my friends and nobody else, besides mommy and daddy.I am trying to look at it another way... Willow is an only child and only goes to my friend’s house once a week.I want her to grow and have stimulation and joy in her life.Wish us luck!

I think your plan is wonderful! There is an old saying that it takes the whole village to raise a child... Thanks for the reminder to plan personal time for us...Brightest Blessings,Joyce Leehttp://www.joyceleelifecoach.com

Thanks, Joyce, for the reminder of that old saying. I made it my day's affirmation repeating it over and over in the morning and even as I handed my baby over to a stranger "it takes the whole village to raise a child". It really helped me and in the end I think it really helped Willow, too.
